Right location. Do you know if the form is used in all the Celtic languages?(03-11-2012, 09:39 AM)abu nuwas Wrote: PS I think you need to keep an eye on your bloke now.

This is a little ditty I composed in clogyrnach verse many years ago, when I first encountered this odd rivalry (it's not a very good one, I was rather young...):
Shaking my head at your football
Seems it’s the be-all and end-all
Celtic and Rangers
Friends become strangers
All dangers
Seem to call
I’d hate to call you fanatic
Loony or simply combatic
You Scots are insane
But honour you gain
As you reign
Simplistic
Just as we have passed Imbolc, and look forward to Beltane, suitably around St George's Day, you must be looking forward to a southern Samhain. Bed!
